Ken Buck Launches Non-Profit

  • 6 Comments
  • by: bjwilson83

The organization, called Balance America, will promote a balanced budget amendment. According to the website,

Balance America will act as a clearinghouse of information, training, and education on government spending practices while identifying each individual state legislator and governor in all 50 states regarding their support for spending restraint and ratification of a federal balanced budget amendment.

It’s good to see that, contrary to portryal of Buck as a polarizing and divisive figure in the 2010 elections by the left, his organization has already garnered support from senate Democrats like Mark Udall. Taking a page from Buck’s senate campaign, Udall is sponsoring a balanced budget amendment in the senate.

Surprising what a spirited grassroots campaign can do to influence a senator worried about losing his seat once the nation goes bankrupt, isn’t it? Like rats jumping off a sinking ship, Deomcrats are hedging their bets in the face of the inevitable consequences of Obama’s reckless fiscal policy.

Allison Sherry has more on the story at the paper-which-shall-not-be-named-or-linked. Just check the blogs at said paper.

  1. That the balanced budget amendment proposal always becomes of issue when there are huge deficits. The Republicans were pushing it in the early 1990’s in their Contract for America when the huge deficits racked up by 12 years of Reagan/Bush I suddenly became their concern.

    It was also a concern to Clinton and Rubin, who actually worked to address the deficit and when Clinton left office, handed Bush II surplus budgets (which he promptly squandered like a drunken sailor).

    Kinda like the drunk who vows he’s going to quit drinking again after a bender.

    Truth is, we should have addressed the balanced budget amendment and health care when we had surpluses, instead of tax cuts for the rich and bogus wars which plunged us into the red again.  

  2. ….he can launch a Teabagger-funded site to keep his failed Senate Campaign going? It’s especially nice that Ken used the same domain-by-proxy service that Porn and Gambling sites used to protect their contact info.

    What does Balance America have to hide? Who are the donors? Why are they afraid of full disclosure?

    If I were a taxpayer in Weld County, I’d demand he either be a full-time DA or resign and pursue his political career.
